What is your previous experience w/ RoR?

I have built web apps for my personal use. Mostly small scripts for transaction based web sites. I am also currently using RoR to build a website for a canine rescue organization here in Denver.

What is your previous experience w/ iOS Development?

I have dabbled a bit with Objective-C but I find XCode to be horrific and nonintuitive so I stopped dabbling.

Introduction

I am a developer that started learning Ruby on Rails about a year ago. I am well versed in a few other languages (C++, PHP, C#, and a few others). I am currently working on a mobile application and on the search for tools to make development easier.

We're about:

Build fully-native iOS apps with Ruby, in your favorite editor, without having to touch Xcode or Objective-C. All the benefits of Ruby, and fully-native on iOS.

The similarities between Ruby and Objective-C are enough that a former Apple employee named Laurent Sansonetti was able to make a compiler for Ruby that outputs native iOS machine code. It was announced in the spring of 2012 and has been in and out of hacker news since. We're intending to make Denver a hub for the Ruby Motion community.
